New monthly update for Aperture of Corruption

By Toffi2024-11-21

Right on time too. November's creeping up on me hard, it seems like just yesterday it was January. Well, time flies when you’re having fun. Guess what? We finally finished the 100% completion mark on regular enemy sprites!! This is the first section of the project fully done (which is one MAJOR milestone). For this session we have a straggler from October and a few new obstacles and ideas.

New monthly update for Aperture of Corruption

Well, it's spooky season. So, for this month the team's focus has been on getting the enemy sprite conversion rate up to that glorious 100%. I'm happy to say that we only have 2 left to go, with both being in their concept stage. Though there is a possibility we cover the hard mode enemies using a separate bank and code at a later point in time.

Projects section now open

By Retro Hackers2024-09-21

Projects are now officially open. What is a project? It's a page hosted on this site dedicated to a specific hack, translation, or any other long term endeavor, that users can create and modify to store assests to be shared, like screenshots, videos and tests, and keep the public up to date on the progress of their project. Our first hosted project is Aperture of Corruption, a hack of Castlevania 3 being developed by a team, Forge Masters, lead by Toffi.

For now, the Project pages are not interactive, but you can send your request to open a project page via the feedback form. Provide a description or mockup of the desired layout, or a link to a web site, some news or update if any, and it will be hosted here and listed in the Projects section. The goal is to provide tools for users to make their own changes, and let them have their own space to showcase their works.

Documents are now available
